The Garden by Tomi Adeyemi

2.5

While the writing style was lovely and I did enjoy the poetry, this novella fell flat for me. I think the execution was not the best because the concept was a little too out there for me. Lęina has a journal and a map to the place her mom dreamt of going and then just, goes? That's the entire plot. If there was a bigger message, theme, or simile, I definitely missed it. 

I'm still interested to read the rest- I've heard nothing but great things about the other short stories so I'm curious to see for myself!
